      <div class="title_division">Display Machine Tool </div>
      <p class="para_division">Display Machine Tool button is located in the top left portion of your window. This option gives you an up to date picture of your machine tool. With this you can visualize the axis orientations. For a four and five axis milling machine the system also displays the address leader designation (A, B or C) and limits for each rotary axis. This option is not available for mill/turn and wire edm.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Output Circular Record </div>
      <p class="para_division">You can set this option to Yes or No. If set to Yes, the system outputs all circles based on the circle motion parameters. If set to No the system does not output circle blocks (G2 or G3). </p>
      <div class="title_division">Linear Axis Travel Limit</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option allows you to check travel limits when you import the custom command pb_cmd_check_travel_limits.tcl. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Home Position</div>
      <p class="para_division">This defines the default FROM position if you have not specified a FROM position. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Linear Motion Resolution</div>
      <p class="para_division">This defines the minimum value to which the system rounds all coordinates. This does not necessarily control the format of the coordinate data. To control the format of the coordinate data you must change the number of decimal digits output. </p>
      <div class="title_division">Traversal Feed Rate</div>
      <p class="para_division">This defines the feed rate that the system uses to calculate machine time for rapid motion. The system also uses this value to determine if a linear feed rate move is actually performed at rapid. </p>
